Do you get value for money when you buy an expensive pair of running shoes? /
R Clinghan ...[et al.].
- 2008
Three pairs of running shoes by different manufacturers in each of 3 price brackets (40-45 GBP, 60-65 GBP, and 70-75 GBP) were tested for plantar pressure and comfort while walking and running. Found that low and medium cost running shoes offered as good if not better cushioning of plantar pressure than high cost running shoes. Comfort was found to be a subjective sensation based on individual preferences and not related to either plantar pressure or shoe price.
